The Next NGS Challenge Conference: Data Processing and Integration

We are presenting the proceedings of the “ Next NGS Challenge, Data Processing and Integration, Conference ” organised during 16-17 May 2013 in Valencia, Spain. This conference – a joint event of the EU COST Action BM1006, SeqAhead; the Global Bioinformatics Network, EMBnet; the FP7 Project, STATegra; and the International Society for Computational Biology, ISCB – aims to become a regular, dedicated meeting on cutting-edge NGS applications. As such, it will continue to bring together biologists, computational biologists and bioinformaticians to discuss new challenges in high-throughput sequencing, and to highlight new trends in NGS-based genome research.
